Amazon Makes Kindle Apps Easier For Blind People to Use

Amazon has updated its Kindle iOS app to make it easier for blind people to use. The update includes new features that tap into Apple’s voice over technology and let users have books read to them.

Users who have difficulty seeing can choose to have the app read to them character-by-character, word-by-word, line-by-line, or continuously, and can tell the app to go forward or backward. The voice tool also allows the user to search in the book to find a specific passage.
